Knights, Insurance

PHILADELPHIA, August Ga secret
circular has been issued from head
quarters of the Knights Of Labor to
members proposing a plan of insurance,
to which all Knights who desire may
belong regardless of age, but member
ship will not be made compulsory. The
initiation fee is to be 81 and the annual
dues 81. The assessments from which 81
death benefit of 81, 600 is paid range
from 20 cents for persons Is years OF
age to $500 to those of 20, and assess
ments are only to be levied when the

The GLASS Trade.

WHEELING, w. Va, August "a
meeting has been called of the Ameri-
can Glass Manufacturers Association
to be held in this city on Monday next,
The object of the meeting is to avoid
discussing the subject of the advance
demanded by the men, by considering
the expediency OF shutting down all
factories in the association until Janu-
airy 1st. This will bring matters to a
crisis at once in the glass trade,
although it is not thought probable the
stocks on hand will permit of carrying
out such an agreement as shut down.
Il this is decided on it will throw S, 900
out of employment.

Mexican Matters

CITY OF MEXICO, via Galveston, Au-
gust ct is rumored in financial
circles that an American bank with
large capital will be established here
with connections in England and
France. The belief is general that the
increasing trade of the country fully
justifes an expansion of the banking
facilities at this time. A branch of the
Bank of London will be established at
Pueblo on the 18th. 1t is reported that
another American company will re-
ceiye contract for the drainage OF the
City OF Mexico on terms quite as favor
able as those under which the CleVe
land. Ohio, Company. Is to drain the
Valley of Mexico.

Canadian KNIGHTS.

TORONTO, August 6.-There is some
talk among the Knights of Labor here
as to their breaking away from the gen.
eral assembly. The Canadian Knights
have been sending IeVies to Philsdel
phia to paw for the legislative commit
tees work, which is of 10 practical use
TO them. They have not been allowed
funds for a Canadian legislative COM
mittee, which they think they are en-
titled to. The question is likely to be
brought forward by the Canadian dele
gates at the next meeting OF the General
Assembly at Minneapolis.

TEMPERANCE SERMON.

Il hear that Smith has sold out his ga.
loon, /" said one of a couple of middle-aged
man who sat slipping their beer and eating
bit Of cheese in saloon.
Yes." responded the other rather
slowly.
''What was the reason !? I thought he
was just coming money there.''
The other nibbled a cracker abstractedly
for moment, and then said Its rather
funny story. Smith, you know, lives on
Mt. Washington, right near me, where he
has an excellent wife, nice home, and
three as pretty children as ever played out
of doors. Ali boys, you know, the oldest
not over nine, and all about the same size.
Smith is a pretty respectable citizen, neyer
drinks or CANDLES, and thinks the world of
his family.
"Well, he went home one day last week,
and found his wife out shopping OF some
thing Of that sort. He went on into the
back yard, and there under an apple tree,
found his children playing. They had
bench and some bottles and tumbIers, and
were playing keep saloon He noticed
that they were drinking something out of
a pail, and that they acted tipsy. The
youngest, who was behind the bar,
had towel tied around his waist, and
was settiug the drinks up pretty
free. Smith walked over and looked in
the pail. 1t was beer, and two of the boys
were so drunk that they staggered A
neighbours boy couple of years older lay
asleep behind the tree.
my God, boys, you must not drink
that he said. as he lifted the six-year-old
from behind the bench.
Yves playin' s'loon, papa, and I was
sellin it just like you,'' said the little fell
low. Smith poured out the beer, carried
the drunken boy home, and then took his
own boys in and put them to bed. When
his wife came back she found him crying
like child. He came down town that
night and sold out his business, and says
he will never sell or drink another drop of
liquor. His wife told E1ine about it, and
she broke down crying while she told it,
This is true story. says the Pittsburg
but the name was not Smith.

IS IT RIGHT TO LICENsE2

We respectfully ask, Is it right to license
man thus to mar the image of God in his
brother man? Right to give him authority
thus "to sell insanity" and deal out sure
destruction? If it is right, why should any
man be forbidden to do it? If not right,
why should any be permitted? Why forbid
all but 'men of sober life and converse
ton" to do this, if it is right? Why allow
men of sober life and conversation to
do it, if it is wrong? Will the poison be
less active or less fatal if 1T is dealt out
with a steady hand? Win the buyer be
the less drunkard because the seller is a
sober man? May this pollution be poured
out upon society only by clean hands? Can
that which always works private evil con-
duce to public good? Can that which is
bad for all the parts be good for the whole?
Can evil be converted into good by multi
plication? Can wrong be legislated into
right?

Solid Truths.

One acre of land, we'll prepared and well
cultivated. will produce more than two
which received only The same amount OF
labor used on one.
One COW, horse, mule. sheep or hog well
fed is more profitable than two kept on
the amount necessary to keep one well.
One acre of clover or grass is worth two
of cotton where no grass or clover Is
raised.
No farmer who buys oats, corn, fodder
york and hay, as rule, for ten years, can
keep the sheriff away from his door i'll the
end.
The farmer who never reads the papers
and sneers at book farming and improve
ments always has leaky roof, poor stocK'
broken-down fences and complains OF bad
seasons and poor land.
farmer who is above his business, and
entrusts it to another TO manage, soon mas
no business to attend to.
Thorough culture is better than mort
cages on a farm, and is good protection
against them.
An offensive war against weeds is hye
times less expensive than defensive one.
Good fences always pay better than a
lawsuit with neighhors.
Hay is a great deal cheaper made Ill
summer than purchased in winter
Scrimping the feed of fattening hogs is
waste Of grain.
